Horrible and Boring Spring Festival
Recently, everyone in Shanghai feel scared at the viruses in Wuhan. I was going to have a trip to the city near Shanghai with my parents. Many media news about the viruses make people feel anxious, so I cancel the excursion.
There hasn’t been any Chinese New Year atmosphere in Shanghai for a long time for me. So I really don’t know how to spend the 7 days holiday. We can’t go to the place where there are many people and avoid transportation. It makes me do not to hang out at all.
The arrangement of these seven days may be to go to their parents’ home and talk with them, help them do housework and so on. I plan to do some exercise at home, read books and find some interesting movies.
